What's On at #STCGlobal
If there's one thing you can count on at Seatrade Cruise Global, it's the opportunities for meeting up with fellow cruise professionals.
We love nothing more than bringing the cruise community together for business and social networking, and our event program is packed with opportunities to say hi to new faces while meeting up with old friends.
Here's a quick rundown of some of the event features at the show in April:
The Conference
From the greatly anticipated 'State of the Cruise Industry' keynote address, featuring a cast of international cruise leaders, through to the dozens of individual sessions where practical thought leadership, education and inspiration are the take-aways, the Seatrade Cruise Global Conference packs some punch.
The Exhibition
The largest trade event dedicated to cruise anywhere in the world. Exhibitors from every sector of the industry (tech, design, ports, destinations, entertainment, health & safety, shipbuilding, expedition, hotel ops, sanitation) gather to share the latest products and services. An Aladdin's cave of discovery!
The Design Lounge
Showcasing an inspired vision of modern cruise interiors, the lounge is your dedicated space to collaborate with cruise lines and fellow creatives. Gather together with fellow architects, designers and developers for special events and receptions.
The Networking Lounge
We are proud to be the No.1 event choice for cruise executives, and we understand how important it is for you to meet up with key contacts in a safe environment. The Networking Lounge is a space to connect with familiar faces and make new friends, a spot for productive rest and relaxation.
